All men sin and fall short of the glory of God. Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on a cross, rose again on the third day and was the final sacrifice for the sins of all men. He was fully man and fully God. He was a Jew born of the tribe of Judah. He fulfilled the scriptures written about the Messiah by the prophets. There is no way into Heaven except by Jesus, He is the truth, the life and the only way. May the Lord bless all who read this, in Jesus name Amen.

As a New Yorker, I grew up in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood. My family is Muslim and they were plenty of other Muslims in the area. We all lived in peace. No one disturbed anyone. The orthodox Jews do not talk to anyone but their own kind and we respected that. I believe we all come from the same Abrahamic religions and we have never passed any judgments on them. Jewish folks are very polite folks! Jews and Muslims have a ton of similarities where we don’t drink alcohol, date & marriage, not eat pork, ham, eat kosher/halal, etc. (Of course not exactly the same, but more similar than different.) I believe if we respect everyone and their religion there will never be conflict. The point is that we need to respect each other’s beliefs and leave judgment to God. Overall, this video was informative as it dives into the depth of their religion and culture. It was very interesting and I enjoyed it. Here’s to wishing we could all be in peace around the world. Peace and love to all. Thanks for sharing!

[@jimcen3997]

So true

[@sab8634]

@Vicki Soni Sorry, but I respectfully disagree. Of course the religions are not entirely the same when it comes to practice and the holy books. I had mentioned that they’re plenty of similarities. From my research and understanding of both religions, the Jews believe in One God "Allah", the Creator of everything with no partner, nothing is like unto Him and He is invisible to all creatures. As do the Muslims. I did not know that the word “Allah” is considered a curse term in the Torah. I am hearing this for the first time and not sure where that is stated in the Torah. I will look this up. The main thing is that Islam and Judaism worship one God only called Allah in Arabic and Elohim in Hebrew and it is the same. Muslims and Jews share beliefs in certain Prophets. Jews believe that Moses is the greatest of all Prophets who was sent to mankind. Muslims also believe in Moses, who is in fact the Prophet most mentioned in the Quran. Muslims and Jews also believe in Abraham, Noah, David, Solomon, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. Nevertheless, in religious practice are very similar because they share this common descent from Abraham. Islam and Judaism are resolutely monotheistic faiths. Allah is the same Creator, Sustainer, and Provider that Jews and Christians worship. I can go on and on about some other similarities: Jews only eat kosher and Muslims only eat halal. There are many similarities between kosher and halal, not drinking alcohol, not eating pork and both religions encourage modesty and require that women cover their hair. If you dig deep into the bible, torah, quran, buddhism, hinduism etc. You will come to find that all is one.The differences come from different times, different cultures, different revelation types, different languages. At the end of the day, there is only one God and he is God for all of us. So, let’s talk more of our similarities rather than differences. This is the reason for so much conflict in the world. I don’t wish to discuss this any further as I am not here to argue. Good luck to you!

[@yeid44]

@Vicki Soni why do skip over all the similarities and just focus on the differences?

​@Vicki Soni ok so your whole issue is with the comparison of Islam/Christianity with Judaism. alrighty

[@sarahn2806]

I need to say thank you for what I think is the most open, unbiased, honest look into Hassidic Jewish culture that I have ever seen. As a woman who grew up in a massive family of Vizhnitz Hasidic Jews, I learned at a young age to stay away from most media pertaining to my culture and religion, I clicked on this video expecting misinformation and demonization, and I was so incredibly surprised by the genuine learning and sharing of information. I'm Modern Orthodox now, I spent a large part of my young adulthood exploring and learning about religion; I've never been good at doing something simply because I've been told to, and the open honesty and actual teaching that was going on in this little documentary was an absolutely beautiful thing to see. Thank you for this lovely video 🌼

[@ronnieb1837]

You expected misinformation and demonisation. That's ironic.

[@come_explore_with_me_IL]

Sarah N While it's refreshing not to see the hostility. I would not say it's unbiased. Shloimy is a decent guy and he is being somewhat honest but at the same time he's also leaving out a lot of the negative and presenting everything in a very positive way for the most part. The Channel is buying into it. But there are many problems in the hasidic world. Discrimination against women mostly by limiting what they can do and achieve . Though there are some that manage to achieve quite a lot for that world such as judge ruchie. He also was not honest about converting or proselytizing (though in fairness he was interrupted) as they may not target not Jews but lool how much Chabad and other groups target secular Jews? Also the hostile attitude to non Jew may be partially a response to protect themselves from antisemitism but it's much deeper than that. Racism for example runs very deep in this world and in general going to yeshiva as an inpressionable child I was exposed to constant comments about how things are so bad in the goyish world and how we are so much better (today we see one scandal after another, one covered up child abuse incident after another so its BS anyway). Stil shloimy does seem like a great guy and I respect what he does also in the Middle East. (Some would argue he got the blessing for Pizza wrong. ) And I like what Peter is doing also but he does seem a bit naive.

Hello! I’m a non-Jewish nurse who had the pleasure of working in the Hasidic communities of Monsey and Kiryas Joel, New York and I can tell you- the Hasidic Jewish people are beautiful and truly misunderstood! I was raised in a family who did not have a favorable view of Jewish people, and I am so glad I decided to find out how lovely these people are myself. I began to work with them in 2020 during Covid, and I brought my then 15 year old daughter to work with me and they welcomed us with open arms. The next few years I worked along side them I learned more about the culture, came to love the food, and even learned some Yiddish! (Baruch HaShem!) Fast forward to 2024, I moved to northwest Pennsylvania, but my now almost 20 year old daughter still works in Kiryas Joel while she goes to college in New York, and I can rest easy that my Jewish friends ensure she is well cared for. I urge anyone who doesn’t like the Hasidic people to get to know them a bit better- you won’t be disappointed! Baruch HaShem and L’Shanah Tovah for Rosh Hashanah my friends!

[@moshebirnbaum5686]

This is what proper journalism looks like. We need more journalists like Peter. He literally gives you a tiny snippet of there lifestyle and it completely shifts people's perspective on them. The sensationalist media loves to hold onto this terrible narrative of them searching for every isolated incident that can make them look bad. I've been to Vegas many times at CES convention with Hassidim and they we're the nicest people to deal with. They provided free meals, lavish meals. They have so many community organizations for sick people, for grieving people, for infertility treatment subsidies, food drives, paramedic and patrol volunteers, you name a communal need and they have a service for it. Charity is a major value of the ultra orthodox community and is actually a law in Judaism to give at least 10% of income to charity.

@@sfdiscovery There is no such thing as "religion" to be honest. In sanskrit the word Dharma translates to universal law. Linguistically the word "deen" in hebrew and arabic means "true judgement" and every human has the capacity to recognize God and truth. The Israelite tradition is a continuation of the noahide law and primordial faith of all peoples as revived by Abraham. Even the word "religion" comes from the latin re ligare meaning to reconnect.

I lived in Brooklyn from 2016-18. I'm a Puerto Rican non-religious Christian woman and found myself working at an Orthodox Jewish office in Boro Park and it was a major culture shock for me. Most of the women I worked with had never been around a gentile or an outsider and developing relationships with them was very difficult. A few months in I had pretty much assimilated and was accepted by everyone at my work. I've been to weddings and other gatherings, and to this day they are some of my absolute closest friends. I love this community and miss Boro Park dearly! I'm so happy I found this video.

There’s definitely a lot of sects. There’s an old Jewish saying we have: give 2 Jews and argument and you’ll get 4 opinions. I grew up for a spell in a similar environment. There’s definitely less pretty aspects of this dichotomy not talked about much in this, and honestly there’s a lot of fracturing between different sects of Jews. Ultimately that was the biggest piece that started me going away from the religious community altogether. There’s a lot of nice people, but a lot of that isolation and skepticism (which I 100% understand) can also breed contempt by some. Religious Jews outside metropolitan NYC are definitely more accepting of others than in Boro Park and especially Williamsburg.

They might convert another Jew, and I worked with a guy like that, but he was Jewish already. And to be honest, they are very dirty people. My husband worked as a home attendant in their homes in Boro park, my friend was a seamstress for them and smelled all kinds of things. I lived among them for many years. They are definitely not friendly, and if they appear to be, it is a face they put up because they need you. Sorry, I know too much about them to be able to speak. There is a lot of dirt they WILL NEVER tell you about their communities.

Thank you to Shliome for opening up his life for us.

[@theotherview1716]

Wow. This interviewer has an incredible way of opening himself to others which allows him to glean information broadly and deeply.

[@anndrake492]

This is one of the greatest interviews, ever. I am not a Jew, and I don’t want to be one, but I understand their culture so much better. I am happy for them. This makes my day.

[@joshuaadammagic54]

You can actually, you can convert. However, related to original comment, you can just say you’re not Jewish, don’t need to say you don’t want to be one.

We need this type of respect in all communities. I Like THIS.

[@atsylor5549]

I really do like that they have a bunch of community services that immediately respond and give support to people in need. So they don’t have to wait for a ambulance or a cop to show up before they start getting help.

This guy's a legend, I love seeing people stop him in the street, "Love your articles" lol.

[@dbell582]

Yeah that was terrific. I think it was my imagination but he seemed to be stand offish or a bit nervous until he heard what they said. Amazing story.

[@hdhdhdhbdhdbd9799]

I know it's amazing especially right after he said that the Jewish people care about understanding the human nature.

I had no idea that this community even existed. I really don’t know a lot of people who are Jewish at all. But it’s nice to see how they live in their culture.

[@Tasmanaut]

The fact you didn't know they even existed is shocking. They live separate from everyone else, and they control everything. Banks, the media, politics.

[@RuthyStarWars4Life]

@@Tasmanaut how is the fact that I didn’t know this community existed. I’m not even from New York. I’m all the way across the country. So how is that shocking to you!

Thanks to Shloime for welcoming us into his community and teaching us of this lifestyle which seems so foreign. I truly respect and appreciate the sense of family and social responsibility that these communities uphold. I learned a lot and can't thank you enough for featuring this video series.

When u learn about each other cultures that eliminate alot of misconceptions and help better understanding and build tolerance towards each other .

[@Banana-sb1hi]

You heard he say it is not a religion but an ethnicity right? And they think they are chosen above all other ethnicities and have the right to kill anyone in their way and that they shall rule the world from Jerusalem and have 2800 slaves each.

[@joemancini2988]

I did business with Hasidic Jews for many years. They are masters of internet selling to the general public. They are expert in snagging government bids. I have been in their houses, met their families. They are tough customers, but they always pay their bills. Peter as always is a great cultural ambassador and interlocutor. And yes, the food is really, really good.
